Why Your Golf Bag Is Costing You Shots (We Tested Every Club & Found THIS)

Ian Fraser from Fraser Golf Institute demonstrates a comprehensive bag mapping session to identify distance gaps and equipment inconsistencies. By utilizing launch monitor data—specifically clubhead speed, carry distance, and spin loft—golfers can pinpoint exactly why certain clubs may be costing them strokes on the course.

• Perform a 'Bag Mapping' session using a launch monitor to record carry distances for all 13 clubs.
• Aim for a consistent 10-15 yard gap between irons, roughly 2.5 to 3 yards per degree of loft.
• Monitor 'Spin Loft' (the difference between dynamic loft and attack angle) to evaluate energy transfer and ball flight consistency.
• Use clubhead speed data to differentiate between 'user error' and 'equipment error' when yardage gaps are too small.
• Analyze peak height and descent angles for long irons to ensure they have enough stopping power for greens.
